2025-2026学年甘肃天水初一(上)期末试卷英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

The giant panda is the national treasure of China. 1.People around the world love pandas.

The black and white animals have also played an important role in China’s diplomacy(外交). It is known as “panda diplomacy”.

In the 1950s, China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had already given 23 pandas to nine different countries. 2.然而，这些大熊猫中大多数均已经死亡。China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are lent to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years.

But why is it hard for these cute “diplomats(外交官)” to live in other countries? 3.最重要的原因之一是他们的饮食习惯。 They feed on bamboo. Adult pandas need about 40 kilos of bamboo a day.

It takes 10 years for bamboo to grow, and 4.many countries do not have a good environment for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported (进口).

But other countries are still trying their best to keep this special kind of diplomacy. “We don’t own the pandas. 5.但全世界都想拯救大熊猫。 And we do that by sharing knowledge.” said Steven Montfort, director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo.

21、Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might write about them in his diary. Now a teenager might surf the Internet and write about his problems in his blog (博客). In some ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. What makes a blog different from a diary?

The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public (公开) than a diary. I have a younger sister. Sometimes I read her blog. She writes about her things like getting up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry exam. When I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but only in my diary. After I finished writing, I would put my diary in a secret place because I was worried that someone else might read it.

A blog is public so it has some bad points. The biggest problem is that anyone can read what you write. If I am angry with a friend during school and write something bad about him in my diary, he will never know. However, if my sister writes something bad about a friend, that friend may read her blog and cry. So we must be very careful to write.

Blogs have good points, of course. If I feel lonely and write “Nobody cares about me” in my diary, no one will know about it. However, if my sister writes the same words in her blog, her friends will quickly reply and tell her how much they like her. A blog helps people keep in contact (联系) with their friends.

If people are careful, writing blogs is really a good way to communicate with others. However, I still enjoy my diary.

【1】What’s the bad point of blogs?

A．People can’t open your blog.

B．Anyone can read what you write.

C．You can’t talk with others in your biog.

D．People will be sad after reading your biog.

【2】What will happen if a girl writes she is sad in her blog?

A．No one will know about it.

B．She will get a quick reply.

C．Her parents will go to see her.

D．Her friends will cry.

【3】What can’t we know from the passage?

A．A diary is not public for everyone to read.

B．In some ways, a diary is quite different from a biog.

C．Writing blogs helps us to keep in contact with friends.

D．The writer’s sister wants to be a pilot in the future.

【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．How to make friends by writing blogs.

B．The reasons why the writer likes diaries.

C．How to keep your secrets in your diary.

D．The good points and bad points of blogs.

22、阅读下面短文，根据短文内容判断句子的正误。正确的涂“A”错误的涂“B”。

One day, a fox was walking through the woods (树林) when he saw some tasty grapes hanging from a branch high above him. He was quite hungry.

First, the fox tried to jump in the air and grab the grapes. But with each jump, he was just inches (英寸) away from getting the grapes. As he jumped and jumped, he was getting further and further away from the grapes. After a short rest, he tried taking a few steps back and doing a running jump at the grapes-but again, he could not reach them.

He even tried to climb the tree to reach the grapes, but his paws (爪子) weren’t strong enough for him to pull himself up the tree. How he wished he had the same paws as a monkey. He sat and stared at the grapes with an expression of anger on his face.

Just then, a bear happened to walk by the fox. He saw the fox looking at the grapes.The fox turned to him and said, “Never mind. Those grapes probably don’t taste good anyway.” And with that, he turned once more and left.

The bear reached up, grabbed the grapes and ate them. They were of course, quite delicious. It seemed that the fox said that the grapes must be bad only because he couldn’t have them.

【1】The fox tried three times to get the grapes before he failed.

【2】The grapes weren’t delicious so the fox didn’t want to eat them.

【3】The fox couldn’t climb the tree because he didn’t have strong paws.

【4】The grapes are hanging so high that the monkey has difficulty getting them.

【5】The last sentence tells us we can’t simply judge (判断) one thing.

23、I’m Emily. Three years ago, I thought I didn’t have enough time to do the housework, so I cancelled the cable(取消有线电视). But I still think it’s fun to watch TV shows when I get the chance.

My favorite show was The Life Laundry. It was so interesting. It came on Saturday mornings after Norm on This Old House and Rick Steve’s Europe. It was like Clean Sweep. It chose some common people. In the show, people took everything in the house outside so they could see how many things they had. Then they would go through each thing they had. Then they would go through each thing and decide whether (是否) to keep or sell it. When people sold some things they would never use, a team (团队)would make the home more beautiful with a new coat of paint. At the end of the show, everyone was always happy to see their home cleaned up and look spacious.

Antiques Roadshow came after The Life Laundry, which was confusing (令人困惑的)because The Life Laundry made you want to clean out your things, but it made you want to keep everything.

【1】Why did Emily cancel the cable?

A. Because she didn’t like watching TV.

B. Because her family was very poor.

C. Because she was busy with the housework.

D. Because her television was broken.

【2】When was The Life Laundry?

A. On Saturday mornings.   B. On Saturday afternoons.

C. On Sunday mornings.   D. On Sunday afternoons.

【3】What came after The Life Laundry?

A. Norm on This Old House.   B. Clean Sweep

C. Rick Steve’s Europe.   D. Antiques Roadshow.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Emily cancelled the cable two years ago.

B. Emily didn’t mind The Life Laundry.

C. People gave things to each other in The Life Laundry.

D. Antiques Roadshow made people want to keep everything.
